Hope it helps. I have been playing since SH1. Instinct comes with time when you’ve been through a gazillion different scenarios.
I tell people in situations like you describe... learn AOB identification by heart! It’s the one skill you can learn by looking at photos, and not even play the game! My AOB simplified video explains how we really only need to recognize 5 degrees, and differentiate port/starboard.
If you can develop a sense of AOB by sight... you will cut solution calculation by ridiculous amounts of time!
